Keywords:
Turkey, United States, economic relations, partnership, foreign trade.Abstract
Turkey, who is Eastern Europe and the Middle East’s largest economy, currently the world’s 17th and Europe’s 6th largest economy. However, low levels of mutual investment and bilateral trade volume remains fairly limited, in the eyes of US policymakers Turkey are not only helping to change the perception of an actor with political and strategic importance. Turkey ‘s growing economic aspects of soft power in the region is often unnoticed by the United States. The lack of economic bases makes this partnership more sensitive to political fluctuations in both countries. Even if the increase in investments and trade volume in a relatively short period of time is not an easy task to achieve, both governments must make a determined effort to make economic relations a relative component of this partnership.
